Tips To Reschedule a Job Interview
There is no way you should ever use your pet as an excuse to reschedule an interview unless you are applying at a veterinary. Sometimes you can’t help the things that come up because they’re not in your control. If you have no other options you can reschedule.
The moment you know you’re not going to be able to make it to the interview you should give the company a call and speak to the person you’re suppose to see. Tell them what’s going on and the day and time you want to reschedule.
Unless it’s true and there’s no other choice do not use the work “emergency”. Do not give away more information then you have to and try to remain calm. If they can’t reschedule be honest with them if it’s not going to work out.
If you end up getting caught in a lie about a fake emergency you will end up not getting the job or at best they won’t believe you in thew future. You don’t want to run into your interviewer at a party after you canceled your interview.
If something went wrong right before the interview like car troubles, try to find a different way to get there. If you can’t make it or your going to be late make sure you give them a call and let them know what’s going on.
If you absolutely know that you cannot find another ride to the interview, call and try to reschedule, but assure your interviewer that your car is reliable and that nothing like this has happened before.
You may think that it would be better to go into the your job interview with motor oil all over your head and clothes but it might just make you look unprofessional.
You only get one first impression so make sure it is a good one. However you present yourself when you meet your interviewer is how they will remember you.
